New name and format reflect post-Covid marketplace.

 

Having been re-scheduled several times during the pandemic, the Hong Kong International Stationery & School Supplies Fair is set to return in January 2023 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

 

Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, the 21st edition of the fair will return with a new fair name, new exhibit categories as well as a new exhibition model. 

 

With online teaching and work from home becoming new norms amid the pandemic, demand for e-learning resources and video conferencing equipment has risen sharply and is expected to remain high. 

 

In response to this industry trend and market demands the fair has been renamed as the Hong Kong International Stationery & School Supplies Fair to highlight the new 'Learning Resources’ exhibit category, which covers a variety of e-learning systems and software, pre-school education and learning products as well as video conferencing systems and equipment. 

 

The fair will adopt the physical-online EXHIBITION+ model for the first time. The physical fair will run from 9 – 12 January 2023 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre while the online exhibition will run until 19 January. 

 

The event comprises four key exhibition elements, including physical fairs, the smart business-matching platform Click2Match, online-to-offline seminars under the Intelligence Hub,
